CRPS is characterized by severe ____ pain, pathological changes in bone and skin,
excessive sweating, tissue _____ and extreme _____ to touch - answer burning,
swelling sensitivity
CRPS type ____ or _____ is a prolonged sympathetic reflex caused by an illness or an
injury that did not directly damage the nerves in the affected limb. Nerve injury cannot
be immediately identified - answer1, RSD

activity at injury site may cause inflammatory response --> results in vicious cycle of
_____, _____ and _____ - answermisfire, constant, swelling, spasm and pain
____ occurs in CRPS which is progressive changes that result from defective nutrition
